A Leonid storm is a trail of pebbles and dust from a passing comet that causes a spectacular meteor shower. It can be seen each year in November.
A Leonid storm is a meteor shower that occurs when Earth passes through a stream of debris left behind by the comet Tempel-Tuttle. This results in a higher-than-normal number of meteors visible to observers. The Leonid meteor shower usually peaks in mid-November.
The Perseid Meteor Shower occurs in August. The Leonid Meteor Shower occurs in November.
All meteor showers are best observed between midnight and dawn, local time. The Leonid shower occurs annually around November 16-17, but you can usually see some meteors a couple of days earlier or later.Precise calculation of the exact time of a meteor shower is not yet possible, but with each year's additional experience, our estimates become more and more accurate.
The Leonid meteor shower, often just called the Leonids, occur in November of every year.
The Leonid meteor shower. However it is not accurate to say it is on the 14th of November. Meteor showers last over the course of a number of days. They are not just on one single night. They can last weeks, except that at the start and end there are very few meteors, whereas around the peak, there are more to be seen. The peak of the Leonids is around the 18th of November, but you would see some on the 14th of November too and for some nights after the 18th of November.
One year before the meteor shower witnessed by the Kiowas and others in 1833, the Leonid meteor storm occurred in 1832. It was a significant meteor event, but not as remarkable or widely observed as the 1833 shower.
Eclipses are visible, generally, only in certain locations. Meteor showers, however, affect the entire planet, and are generally a day or two long. The Perseid meteor shower is happening now, and will continue for a day or two more.
